The job Kevin Cash has done with the injury-plagued, bare-bones-budget Rays is utterly amazing. Not only have they been a surprise, they're one of Major League Baseball's most amazing stories this summer.

When you talk about Washington this year, it starts with Bryce Harper. But the Nationals have struggled to reach their potential, and without Denard Span and Yunel Escobar, they wouldn't be within striking distance of first place in the National League East.

Mike Scioscia's in his 16th season managing the Angels, and at first blush, you'd have to say he's strictly "old school" skipper. He's far from baseball's new breed of analytically-driven managers. But you don't become Major League Baseball's longest-tenured and one of its highest-paid managers without adjusting to the times.

At the one-third mark of the season, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is a slam dunk for the NL MVP Award. No one else comes close. Teammate Max Scherzer is more than earning the megabucks Washington gave him during the offseason and would easily win the NL Cy Young Award.

The Tampa Bay Rays are young, energetic, probably playing over their heads, but all alone atop the AL East as Memorial Day weekend gets under way. If there's a true feel-good story early this season it's the overachieving Rays.

Back in the 1990s, when Joe Torre's Yankees were winning everything in sight if opponents didn't get them in the first seven innings, forget it. That the 2015 Yankees are atop the American League East and one of the season's biggest surprises is reminiscent of the formula that made Torre's teams so successful.

It will take more than four wins for rookie manager Jeff Banister to proclaim that the Rangers have turned their season around, but it's a start. And winning three from the surging Astros, who are atop the AL West with the league's best record, is more than a mini-step.

Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez came to the Red Sox with enormous talent and impressive credentials this offseason, but patriarch David Ortiz keeps telling them they can do better. Ortiz, 39, is the longest-tenured Boston player. He says it's important, and to a degree, his responsibility to make certain newcomers fit in.

The season is barely underway -- just 11 games old -- but nobody expected the Rays to play as well as they have, especially with 11 players, including four starting pitchers and their closer, on the disabled list.

Years from now, when folks ask Kevin Cash what he remembers most about his first game as a Major League manager, it won't be about an excruciating 6-2 loss. It will be more about putting on the Tampa Bay Rays uniform with his name on the back and 16 right under it.

It's hard to remember a year during the waning days of Spring Training when the Braves weren't considered a contender in their division, if not the team to beat. As we're poised for Opening Day 2015, it's a stretch to put Atlanta in the contender category. But the club is prepared for for the 162-game season.

The Red Sox have reloaded and are poised for d&#233;j&#224; vu -- a repeat of their worst-to-first heroics of 2013. They've made this amazing scenario possible by finishing dead last in the American League East in 2014 and by adroitly retooling a team that many say should win the division this season.
